He’s a rich lobbyist. He is the east coast establishment. I would be surprised if he has bought his own groceries once in ten years.

I’ve explained why this picture isn’t what you’ve described it as, (Spencer and Ioffe are not friends, and this photo is him deliberately making her uncomfortable) and why it’s shitty to describe it that way (she fled state backed anti-semitism as a child). Ignore me if you want.

We both know that’s not what is happening here, and that your parsing is a distinction without a difference, which is why your tweeted the photo. But you’ve been made aware of what’s happening in the picture so at the very least it’s clear you’re not acting out of ignorance.

Now that you’re aware of the context, your options are insisting that a Jewish refugee is pals with a Nazi to save face, or recognizing that you accused a Jew of being a Nazi because they made a dumb joke about the superbowl, and that wasn’t a great thing for@you to do. Up to you

There are two possibilities here: One is that the photo shows a nazi amused with the discomfort of the Jewish reporter interviewing him, or it shows a Jewish refugee “hanging out” with a Nazi. One of these is accurate and the other is ridiculous.

my wife is a second generation african immigrant, so despite the joke I find the everyday casual racism of contemporary immigration conversations rather unamusing.

They’ll do that to any Dem who wins, but a useful datapoint in evaluating the sincerity of Republicans arguing that impeachment shouldn’t be partisan. twitter.com/jeneps/status/…

The Jedi on rebels are all clearly Jewish. Ezra, whose parents are Ephraim and Mira, and Kanan, whose real name is Caleb

It understates things considerably to describe this letter as a “self-own,” if a deeply sad one. theatlantic.com/letters/archiv…

No. It’s not the rancor between candidates that I’m talking about. This primary has been tame in that regard. It’s arguments that assume whomever wins, the losing faction are villains who will be somehow vanquished permanently, rather than needed to win in November.

I don’t think that. But I do think that whomever wins will have to figure out a way to win over people who some of their candidate’s supporters have been shitting on for the past year, especially with a geographically significant part of their 08 and 12 coalition missing.
